Our canned “Black Badger” Carlin Peas, also known as Black or Grey Peas, are cooked and ready to use. Carlin Peas are popularly served as Parched Peas in Lancashire, simply boiled up and eaten with vinegar and salt. With their firm texture and delicious nutty flavour, Carlin Peas make an excellent British substitute for chickpeas.

Carlin Peas are perfect for traditional parched peas or grey peas with bacon. They can also be used in place of chickpeas or dark green lentils. They’re great in soups, stews, curries and salads, pairing well with roast vegetables.
